Our story

Built for consultants who actually consult.

We built Shimaya because independent consultants deserve the same operational leverage as large firms — without the overhead of a full team to manage it.

The problem we're solving

Independent business consultants are some of the highest-value professionals in the world. They've spent years developing deep expertise, building trust, and delivering measurable results for their clients. But most of them spend 10–15 hours a week on things that have nothing to do with that work: chasing email threads to schedule calls, manually following up after missed bookings, copy-pasting client details into spreadsheets.

The tools that exist either treat consultants like dentists — pick a time slot, fill a form — or were built for large enterprise sales teams with budgets and ops staff to match. Neither works for someone running a lean, high-value practice on their own.

Shimaya started with a simple question: what would scheduling look like if a brilliant assistant handled it? Not a form. Not a calendar link. A conversation that understands context, qualifies the prospect, books the right service at the right time, and sends a professional confirmation — all before you've even looked at your phone.

That's the AI booking agent at the heart of Shimaya. Everything else — the client directory, the analytics, the embeddable widget — exists to make sure that when a client does book, your practice is ready to serve them well.

What we believe

Our values

AI that works for you

We believe AI should handle the administrative weight of running a practice — not replace the expert thinking that makes consulting valuable. Every feature we build is designed to give you more time in deep work.

Privacy by design

Your clients trust you. You trust us. Client data is isolated per consultant with row-level security, encrypted at rest and in transit, and never shared or sold. Security isn't a feature — it's the foundation.

Ruthless simplicity

Booking a consultation should take less than three minutes for a client and zero minutes for you. We relentlessly cut complexity. If a feature isn't directly reducing your admin burden or improving client experience, it doesn't ship.

Built with practitioners

We don't build in a vacuum. Every feature request, bug report, and piece of feedback from our consultants shapes the roadmap. The people using Shimaya are the people we're building for.

What's next

We're just getting started.

Calendar sync, team workspaces, advanced analytics, and deeper integrations are on the roadmap. We build in public — check the changelog to see what's shipped recently.
